Windows Marketplace’s newest anti-piracy measures already thwarted

Yar, that was fast. Less than a day after Microsoft updated its Windows Marketplace for Mobile with new advanced anti-piracy measure, some apt xda-developers community member has managed to crack the new code — in under two hours, according to Chainfire’s posting. The hack itself won’t be posted, but we’re sure other astute programmers, many of more nefarious intention, will be able to have their way with it just as easy. Sad for developers who’ve been wanting something more secure — better luck next update.
